Book description
Operation: Middle of the Garden is a top-secret government and
military operation running under the nose of the American public in
Washington, D. C. Eight years ago, troops in Afghanistan stumbled upon
the remains of what looked to be the Garden of Eden. The skeletal
remains of two trees peeked through centuries-worth of sand and
debris. The soldiers who discovered the trees were coerced into being
test subjects for the trees' fruit. The fruit from the supposed Tree
of Eternal Life turned the men immortal. Now, the Operation seeks to
test the fruit from the second tree: the Tree of the Knowledge of Good
and Evil.
Jericho Edwards was the first test subject at the inception of
Operation: Middle of the Garden. When he viewed his nurse Emily Kent
for the first time, a mysterious Voice whispered, “The One,” to him.
Jericho and Emily immediately became soul mates, a phenomenon caused
by the fruit that became known as Impulse pairing, but Emily died a
short while later due to a complicated pregnancy. Jericho has never
been the same. He remains in the compound of the Operation because he
has no desire to live, yet no other option but to live. He agrees to
test the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil so he is
of some use to the compound.
Dahlia Gutierrez is a convicted criminal. When faced with prison or
joining Operation: Middle of the Garden, Dahlia immediately chooses to
become a test subject for both trees. She has a secret, and she needs
the kind of potential freedom to flee at the drop of a hat that prison
would impede. One thing's for sure: she's learned a lot from her past,
and she's going to do whatever it takes to make sure she never makes
those mistakes again. The biggest lesson she's learned? That she can
only depend on herself.
